: An action to export a Photoshop document with file name intact Is there a way to export a document in Photoshop using an action that would preserve the file name? Example: I have a document

You can create an action to save the images as you want and then simply use this action in the "batch" command found in the menu "file" then "automate"

There you can choose what folder to use for the images you want to process, and also WHERE you want them to be saved.

You can also simply select the "extension" as shown in the screenshot below; it will save your image with the same name, but will add the right extension.

I ended up making my own script based on advice from plainclothes and a link from Joonas

You can find the script here: github.com/edwardloveall/Photoshop-Export-PSD-script
By default, it saves to the Desktop, but just edit the line

var desktop = '~/Desktop';


to change the destination.

If you want to be completely hands-off I believe you need a script.

If you had a lot of files to process, you could batch the action and automate the name and destination there. But that still requires your intervention at the start.
